JSPL gets 3 yr extension to begin work on Bolivian plant

18 Jun 2010 Evaluate

Jindal Steel & Power has got three years extension from the Bolivian government to begin constructing its 1.7 million tonne steel plant in Bolivia as against the original deadline of 2010.

Delay in possession of land did not allow the company to buy plant equipment but with the new agreement, if everything goes well, it should be operational in 2014. The total land required for the steel project was close to 5,000 acres but the government has provided only 1,000 acres so far.

Another reason for the delay was lack of adequate road and power infrastructure at the proposed location. Although iron ore mining has begun, there is no infrastructure to transport the ore to the nearest port at Puerto Busch, which itself is under construction.

Jindal Steel had secured the rights to mine El Mutun iron ore reserves in 2007. Although El Mutun has reserves of more than 40 billion tonne, making it one of the world’s biggest iron ore mines, the company holds mining rights for half of the reserves. As per the agreement, Jindal required to invest $2.1 billion over an eight-year period to develop the iron ore mine, set up a steel and a power plant. crackcrack
